Robinson did not receive an invite to big league camp in spring training. The 27-year-old batted .255/.322/.323 over 102 games in 2013 with the Reds before missing all of last season following shoulder surgery.

It could explain why Robinson never caught on anywhere after being non-tendered by the Reds back in early December. With a 4-6 month timetable, Robinson seems likely to sit out the 2014 campaign before seeking employment next winter.

Robinson got the boot Tuesday to clear a roster spot for Skip Schumaker. The 26-year-old outfielder hit just .255/.322/.323 in 216 plate appearances this season for the Reds but he may draw interest from other teams.

The 25-year-old has already seen plenty of action in a reserve role with the Reds this season, hitting .254/.325/.654 with no homers, seven RBI and three stolen bases over 173 at-bats. He remains irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

Derrick Robinson did not play Saturday due to ongoing left shoulder soreness.

Robinson continues to be bother by an injury he originally suffered back on July 9 on a slide into home plate. He's not playing Sunday, either, though he wouldn't have started against lefty Jeff Locke even if he were healthy. Consider Robinson day-to-day.

Derrick Robinson went 4-for-5 with a double against the A's on Tuesday,

Not only was it his first four-hit game as a major leaguer, but it was his first three-hit game. Robinson figures to lose at-bats now that the Reds have Chris Heisey back, but manager Dusty Baker was able to employ both tonight with Heisey DHing in Oakland. He's hit .301 in 93 at-bats.

Reds purchased the contract of OF Derrick Robinson from Triple-A Louisville.

He'll take the place of the injured Ryan Ludwick (shoulder) on the active roster. Robinson, 25, batted .268/.344/.325 with two homers, 23 stolen bases and a .668 OPS in 116 games with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate last season. He has some speed, but is unlikely to be fantasy relevant.

Derrick Robinson accounted for all of the Reds offense in Friday's loss to the Rockies, delivering an RBI triple in the eighth inning.

Robinson, who was signed to a minor league deal this offseason, is hitting a cool .346 (9-for-26) with four RBI this spring. He's an extreme longshot to crack the opening day roster however, and is slated to open the season in the outfield at Triple-A Louisville.

The Royals non-tendered Robinson earlier this winter after he batted .268/.344/.325 with two homers, 23 stolen bases and a .668 OPS in 116 games with Triple-A Omaha. He'll be assigned to Triple-A to start 2013.

Robinson cleared waivers after being designated for assignment, but the Royals have decided to part ways with him. He batted .268/.344/.325 with two homers, 23 stolen bases and a .668 OPS in 116 games this past season with Triple-A Omaha.

Robinson, 25, batted .268/.344/.325 with two homers, 23 stolen bases and a .668 OPS in 116 games this season with Triple-A Omaha. He has good speed and plays quality defense in center field, but the Royals have decided that there are better ways to use a 40-man roster spot.

This is nothing more than a paperwork move to clear a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Alejandro De Aza. Turner took on-field batting practice Tuesday for the first time since fracturing his right wrist in late June. He won't be ready for activation for at least another couple of weeks.

Jayson Werth (foot) is reporting to the Nationals' spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Florida.

He'll work out there for the next couple of days before possibly embarking on a minor league rehab assignment over the weekend. Werth has been on the disabled list since early June with a bone bruise in his left foot. The veteran outfielder should be ready for activation around the final week of August or first week of September, assuming he can avoid setbacks.

Nationals activated OF Ryan Raburn from the bereavement list; placed him on the 10-day disabled list with a left trapezius strain.

Raburn was placed on the bereavement list on Sunday to allow him time to mourn the passing of his grandfather. It is unclear just when he suffered the trapezius strain which is now sending him to the disabled list. There is no current timetable for Raburn's return.

Nationals placed OF Brian Goodwin on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to August 14, with a left groin strain.

The injury comes with bad timing for Goodwin, who had been drawing regular starts in the Nationals' outfield. He owns a cool .811 OPS with 13 home runs and six stolen bases in 74 games this season. Alejandro De Aza has been called up from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding 25-man roster move.

Eaton also said that he hasn't ruled out returning to the Nationals' active roster during the postseason, but that doesn't seem very likely to happen. The 28-year-old center fielder underwent major surgery on May 10 to repair ACL and meniscus tears in his left knee. It's a procedure that typically requires 6-9 months of rest and rehab, sometimes a full year.

Nationals placed OF Bryce Harper on the 10-day disabled list with a bone bruise in his left knee.

Harper suffered the injury Saturday after slipping on the first base bag while trying to beat out a grounder in the bottom of the first inning. The good news is an MRI revealed no ligament or tendon damage, but the bad news is the 24-year-old MVP candidate will likely be sidelined until mid-to-late September. Michael Taylor has been activated in a corresponding 25-man roster move.

Stephen Strasburg (elbow) is expected to return Saturday against the Padres.

He'll return to the mound in his home city of San Diego after missing roughly three weeks with an elbow impingement. Strasburg looked sharp in his lone rehab start, fanning five over five innings of one-run ball Monday for High-A Potomac. The former first overall pick has been steady as ever this year, going 10-3 with a 3.28 ERA over 20 starts for the first-place Nats.

Ross is done for 2017, and the majority of 2018. The 24-year-old right-hander entered this season with high expectations, but he pitched to a 5.01 ERA in 72 2/3 innings and has a long road back to fantasy relevance. Ross is scheduled to become arbitration-eligible in 2019.

Shawn Kelley was activated in the corresponding move. The move was made retroactive to Monday and the Nats are hoping to have Madson back when first-eligible next week. The right-hander sports a perfect 0.00 ERA over nine relief outings since coming over in a trade with the Athletics last month.

Koda Glover (back, shoulder) has been rehabbing at the Nationals' spring training facility in West Palm Beach.

Glover plans to ramp up his activity after getting good news from his doctor earlier this week. As of last week, he was throwing up to 100 feet on flat ground. A rotator cuff injury has sidelined Glover since June 11.

He retired the side in the sixth inning, recording one strikeout over 14 pitches. The 26-year-old looks ready to rejoin the Nats' bullpen after missing the past couple of weeks with a strained forearm. He holds a 3.99 ERA across 47 1/3 innings for Washington this season.
